Restaurant food has also improved, so I was curious about going back to Gracias Madre, the vegan Mexican restaurant I reviewed in 2010. What I found in my Update review publishes in today’s Chronicle is that it has stood the test of time, though service could use a reboot.

Whether it’s the cauliflower bubbling in cashew cheese, or posole in a rich red ancho broth, the food delivers on flavor and satisfaction.
